Photos: Police averted bomb blast incident in Kano this morning

The Nigeria police released these photos of car rigged with explosives that targeted Kano city. Nigeria police said on Monday that they thwarted a fresh attempt to detonate a car bomb in Kano, a day after a bombing killed four people in an area of the city attacked repeatedly by Boko Haram. This car would have caused a second bomb attack in Kano following a first that killed at least 13 people at a beer joint last night in Sabon Gari area of Kano.

The vehicle was packed with material for an improvised explosive device but was recovered and made safe before it could be detonated.
